Is IT A Loooooong Movie? Hopefully!

Here is a photo that Barbara Muschietti shared on Instagram. It shows the editing room with a scene from the IT movie that we recognize from the second trailer. What's interesting with this photo is up in the left corner. There you can see the numbers 2:17:16:13. If this is what I think it is, it's the running time for the movie and would mean that this scene (which is probably not at the end of the movie) happen about 2 hours and 17 minutes into the movie and that tells me the movie will be very looooooong. Or the numbers could mean something totally different but let’s hope it’s the running time.

You can also see that this is from May 1st so there might have been other cuts done that would affect the running time…if that is what those numbers are…

As a bonus to The Eyes of the Dragon Art Portfolio Suntrup Editions will also publish a biography of the artist David Palladini.

From the Press Release:

As a bonus addition to The Eyes of the Dragon Art Portfolio featuring the artwork of David Palladini, Suntup Editions in collaboration with Mark Strong of Meibohm Fine Arts, Inc., is proud to announce the inclusion of a separate biographical book to both editions of the art portfolios.

The concise biography was written as a ‘fan tribute’ to the artist by Mark Strong, from almost nine years of compiled information about David Palladini’s personal life and career as an artist up to the present-day. The introduction, written by Mark, speaks of the serendipitous beginning of their friendship in 2008 with a simple phone call from David, which became his sole inspiration for writing the biography. The book, aptly titled Palladini, will include a 70-page biography, as well as over 60 full-color reproductions of artwork by David Palladini, including some of his best-known illustrations and never-before-published fine art. The perfect addition to the portfolios for Stephen King collectors and Palladini fans alike. Included free with all Portfolio orders.

Here is an interview with Matthew McConaughey about The Dark Tower.

“He and I spoke quite lyrically,” McConaughey said when we asked what he took from those conversations with King. “[We spoke] about how Walter has the world by a string and he always has a half-cocked smile on his face about it. There’s an enjoyment that comes with his puppeteering. He sees himself as the minister of truth.”

And it looks like the plans for a TV show is moving on. When asked if he would be involved with the planned Dark Tower TV show this is what he said:

Yes, I am somewhat involved, but to what extent we’re still figuring that out.

Proof of Eyes Of The Dragon Art Portfolio

Posted: May 3, 2017, 06:15
_
Here is a really cool galley. It's a galley for something as unusual as art portfolio

I couldn't resist doing a proof for the portfolio. I had some fun with this. The proof is designed to look like the old-style proofs from back in the day. Right down to the stapled publisher slip, and spiral bound pages. And of course, the covers were made to look like they were all beat up with stains and folds.


At first I thought, how can you do a proof for an art portfolio, but there was a need for some sort of rough mockup so we could determine the best order for the content, and have something I could actually look at prior to publication. Aside from that, there was a need for what advance review copies are traditionally used for, to send to media/reviewers, etc. And of course, proofing.


I decided to also include swatches of the materials used in both editions. Right down to the paper, and the covering materials for the boxes. It also has some of the special translucent/vellum paper being used in the actual portfolios.
